Here we stand a country who wants to be energy efficient.Individuals and
environmental groups are aggressively stoppingprogress of any form. They
rather see hundreds of wind turbinesthat would dot our deserts,
valley's, and mountains which providevery little energy. Ask
California of the ugly hill sides and veryOf them are providing energy
that's why Southern CaliforniaIs getting most of their energy from
Arizona.

In anticipation of fracking style oil wells destroying hundreds of square miles
of our state lands based on the sustained high cost gas prices at the gas
stations. What happens when oil production and importing returns after the Obama
administration defaults this country's economy.

When gas prices
drop below $3/gal, it will force this refinery to shut down. Fracking is a lot
more costly than oil wells and the collapsed economy on poverty is being
determined now.

The economy cannot sustain the high cost of oil and
oil fracking undermine the integrity of millions ow square miles of water
aquifers in the open BLM lands of Utah? We will have to have water lines strung
out all over the deserts to keep wildfire from leaking subterranean surface gas
escaping through the ground.

I hope they are also planning to build a
toxic dump-site where all the toxic water that oil fracking creates can be
stored for eternity. Our state governor has an Obama complex, creating disasters
is his job, cleanup is not his responsibility and another tax issue.

Keep in mind that the states of Iowa, Kansas and
South Dakota get 20 percent or more of their electricity from wind. A Boston
Globe article priced wind power as the second cheapest power source, behind
natural gas, just the other day. Wind is growing rapidly in this country,
creating jobs and economic opportunities in rural communities -- without
pollution, need for water or trucking in fuel, etc. Wind provides about 4
percent of America's electricity -- and it's growing!

Yes,
I've seen the "scary" pictures of the occasional wind turbine
struck by lightening or the one that fell on a truck... those pictures are
nothing compared to the scary pictures of Fukushima or Deep Horizon oil spill
that actually killed people and created economic and environmental devastation
far and wide.

... people are still refusing to eat seafood from the
Mexican Gulf because of the oil spill, and Fukushima has rendered some nearby
radiated real estate as "non-usable" for time and eternity -- this has
not been good for their local economies... can't sell oil-laced seafood or
develop/farm on nuke-radiated land... but you can farm around wind turbines.

The best news of this article are the jobs for Green River. The town and Emery
County have worked long and hard for this day. The plus for this refinery is
the railroad that can move the product to various markets. The minus is the
distance from the Uintah Basin's oil production - not any closer than SLC.
Though the tar sands project and some of the oil shale projects are closer to
Green River, once a decent road is built.

The enviro grops are
grasping for straws on this one. Must be too many slow days in the office for
their lawyers.

And I suppose that the enviro-nuts are riding their bikes, or horses, or other
non-polluting means, to all the appeal hearings, etc. No, they are driving
their cars or pickups to the hearings. Remember, people, that these groups
protest everything to accomplish one goal--raise more money.

it kills me when you call people that want a clean earth nuts. coal burning is
putting out record amounts of mercury. more of utahs lakes now have much higher
levels than ever before. if the oceans keep getting this it could kill plankton
and then oxygen goes down 72% on earth then we all die. is it nuts to not want
to die? or is it nuts to want to burn things foerever so a few rich people can
get richer?
